A Graduation Photoshoot in Cap and Gown on the Quad

The Graduation Quad register

A university quad in May, brick and stone. He wears a black gown over a navy suit with the cap, and a hood's colour held low, in the picture taken on the quad.

The gown is black, the suit navy and the stone grey, with the lawn held soft. Light is bright and soft. The three settings are a close frame in the cap against soft stone, a chest-up frame on the quad's gravel, and a half-length frame at the arch that reads the gown's fall.

What comes out is photographic: nine photos of you, three in each of three settings. The place and the wardrobe are borrowed as a setting; the photos are portraits of you, not pictures taken on a campus.

How to photograph yourself for graduation photoshoot for men

Better source photos make better portraits. An ordinary phone photo is enough, and a few habits sharpen the likeness.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and phone flash, which flatten a face.
2. Front or three-quarter angleCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below, no stretched arm.
3. Face fully clearHair off the face, no sunglasses and no filters. A clear, front-facing phone photo is the best starting point.
4. The look of the dayA clear collar line and an easy smile in your source photo carry best. Leave caps aside.
5. A plain background is fineDo not worry about your own backdrop. The pack replaces it entirely.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real photo taken on a campus?

No. It is a portrait of you set in the look of a university quad. It is not a picture taken there.

Will it look like a real photograph?

Yes. Every photo is photoreal: a real-looking photograph of you in the look of a university quad, not a painting or a cartoon.

Does it suit any degree?

Yes. The black gown is plain on purpose, so it fits a bachelor's, a master's or a doctorate.

Who is this pack for?

It is the men's pack of the graduation set. A women's pack on the lawn sits beside it.

Will the photos look like me?

Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.

Do I have to write a prompt?

No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.

How many photos of myself do I add?

Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.

What happens to the photos I add?

They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.
